Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. And the countdown is on. Just a short time from now, donald trump, Hillary Clinton, and their third and final debate. And even before their final clash on that stage tonight, their campaign planes both right there in nevada. And lets go right to the debate hall at this hour. Because we have learned tonight of Donald Trumps plan going into this evening. And the clinton team, asking the Debate Commission to step in and change at least one tradition, something will be different tonight. Abcs tom llamas, leading us off. Reporter tonight, tensions so high, this tradition has been canceled. The candidates families will no longer greet each other before the debate. At the Clinton Campaigns request, they wont even cross paths. This, after donald trump lured reporters into a room hours before the last debate to find him surrounded by women who have accused bill clinton of Sexual Misconduct. Women have asked to be here. Reporter trumps team wanted to seat the women in the family box, so theyd come face to face with bill clinton on that greeting line. The Clinton Campaign trying to avoid anything like that tonight. But other trump stunts already under way. Trump inviting president obamas half brother, malik obama. Malik, who has a contentious relationship with his brother, is supporting trump. Tonight, trump will face tough questions on his claims the him. But they even want to try and rig the election at the polling booths. Reporter today, his own Campaign Manager contradicting him. Do you believe there will be widespread voter fraud . No, i do not believe that. Reporter trumps daughter, ivanka, also weighing in. If hell either win or he wont win, and i believe hell accept the outcome either way. Reporter and trump will also have to answer accusations he sexually assaulted and harassed women. Believe me, she would not be my first choice. That i can tell you. Reporter and today, for the reacting to that video, her father on a bus, bragging about groping women. I did find it to be offensive. He acknowledged it was, as well. This tape was over a decade old, im sure he didnt remember this conversation, but was very embarrassed by it. And he expressed that, not only to me personally, but to the american people. Reporter but tonight, trump is promising a brawl, including pointed attacks on clintons health. And focusing on embarrassing material from the Clinton Campaign from hacked emails. Wikileaks. I love wikileaks. Reporter but now, a Top Republican saying trump is playing dangerous games since the Clinton Campaign emails were allegedly obtained by russian hackers. What i would say to our republican colleagues, some of who may be disappointed by the position taken is, today, its them, tomorrow, it could be us. Reporter trump telling me the man on that stage tonight will be a fighter. Which donald trump are we going to see . We saw a much more aggressive, kind of, you were in your own element at that second debate. Well, i think so. Look, theres a lot to be aggressive about. Shes done a terrible job. A preview there from trump himself. Tom llamas with us live. And tom, donald trump pays very close attention to the polls himself. You talked to him. Does he acknowledge the math tonight, and the turnaround his Campaign Needs . Reporter david, as you know, Donald Trumps had a long love affair with the polls, but that is no more.

Reporter tonight, Hillary Clintons team says she will go there, hitting donald trump on allegations of Sexual Misconduct and his claim the election is rigged. Clintons chief goal tonight . Staying out of the way of her own momentum. For five days, the democratic nominee largely out of sight, prepping behind closed doors with her team, knowing how much past debates have helped her in the polls. I think donald just criticized me for preparing for and yes, i did. And you know what else i prepared for . I prepared to be president. And i think thats a good thing. Reporter clintons mission . Stay calm and steady, as she did in the last debate, when trump invited her husbands accusers. Snl marking that moment. Four of those women are here tonight. Four of them. No, ill never be able to remember my facts and figures now. Oh, donald, no. Get real. Im made of steel. This is nothing. Hi, girls. High, clinton and trump barely looked at each other. The big question this time, will they actually shake hands when they come on this stage . With or without a handshake, tonight, clinton sure to face tough questions on wikileaks and her emails, an issue thats dogged her this entire campaign, and shell be challenged to present herself as a unifier. A preview perhaps . Her new ad with lines lifted straight from her last debate performance. My vision of america is an place. That is the america that i know and love.

Cecilia vega live in nevada for us, as well. Cecilia, thank you. And a list of new National Polls showing Hillary Clinton increasing her lead after the first two debates. And unless donald trump blocks her tonight, could clinton now be within striking distance in states that have not gone republican for years . Lets get right to jon karl. Hes in the spin room tonight, with the states were talking about. Jo trump tonight, the stakes couldnt be any higher. If he doesnt turn things around, he is on the verge of not just losing, but losing big.
